My brain splatters as I try to make sense of this. It doesnt last long and shuts down. The dwindling thumb A snoring girl One annunciating talk show host Advertisments for genuine authentic Italian cuisine News stories that have no endings Perpetual cycles of hell She is snoring after a long day of being sick The pain stretches to my wrist "You feed your mind You feed your body You feed your soul The balance beings peace The balance brings joy The balance brings growth." My imaginary Grandmother whispers to me. Cued laughter from the audience These shows are like used car sales There's a poet I know who has to piddle that **** to the public. I don't think she minds too much but I hope it doesn't **** her writing. The dead speak to us louder when the order of our day is in disarray. People at work are depressed, the moral of the story lost and we're drifting. Then the shock and the horror This time of the year is already ******* everyone trying to fulfill imaginary expectations of what other people want. This is modern expressions of love. The wish to provide a material manifestation of warmth, desire, and embrace. Maybe a hug will do. And the actions of consistency and peace. An old friend
